Show Me the Funny comic Ellie Taylor has replaced Jenny Frost as the host of BBC Three's make-under series Snog, Marry, Avoid.

The former model, who appeared on ITV1's reality show for comedians last year, confirmed her appointment on Twitter.

"Orange people of the UK beware! I'm dead chuffed to say I'll be presenting a brand new series of Snog, Marry, Avoid on BBC Three in the spring!" she wrote.

The show will return for 10 new half-hour episodes with new graphics and audio for the show's central character POD (personal overhaul device).

Producers Remarkable Television said: "Ellie, with her kooky girl-next-door warmth, will inject a big dose of comedy into the show. We will scour the country for the most OTT looks and fans of the show will see some of the most dramatic make-unders yet."

BBC commissioner Sam Bickley added: "Ellie brings a brand new comedy vibe to the format and a fun, big sister quality that will allow the extraordinary real life stories to emerge too."
